I was scrambling for something to write about this morning, when I got an email from Cameron Mackugler, one of the founders of mEat Local video productions.  Here’s the key section of his message to me:

We are a group of ex-professional athletes that raced at Middlebury College together, and share not only a love for our winged adversaries but also a passion for the environment. With the ecosystems and animal habitat in damaging decline, migrations will alter courses and schedules, and the sports that we enjoy so much will cease to exist. Similar to the over-harvesting of canvasbacks in the mid 1900′s, our human impact will negatively affect ALL wildfowl species.

So our videos inspire both hunting and being environmentally aware- we are not tree hugging, prius driving, granola munchers, but are outdoor enthusiasts that care about the future of this sport. Our videos are fast paced and rely on our elite athleticism to get shots that other hunters have never seen. We are hoping that your website could help promote our video by reblogging it on your site, and in doing so promote the future of this great sport.

I checked out their initial video, and it’s not bad at all.  The production quality is pretty good, and unlike many waterfowl-centric hunting vids, the clip is not a barrage of birds dying and falling.  What I like even more is the message these guys are promoting.  I’ll be following their YouTube channel to see how they do. 

In the meantime, here’s their first effort:
